David L Bruhwiler

David Bruhwiler received his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1990, applying Hamiltonian perturbation theory to plasma and beam applications. From 1992 to 1997, Dr. Bruhwiler developed beam dynamics codes and designed a wide range of electron and hadron accelerators for Grumman Aerospace Corp. and Northrop Grumman Corp. He played a key role in developing the concept of a self-ionizing plasma wakefield accelerator in 2003, and he contributed to one of the three LWFA “dream beam” Nature papers of 2004. David became a Fellow of the APS in 2010 and co-invented the Trojan horse concept in 2012. He co-founded RadiaSoft LLC in 2013, where he serves as President and CEO.
